About Carla
Carla Rodgers is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with more than 20 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family issues, parenting challenges, and anger. She also supports people facing addiction and problems connected to family of origin issues.
Carla favors a straightforward, practical approach in sessions. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them notice patterns that keep causing trouble. Conversations focus on current problems and on steps people can try between sessions.
In sessions she talks with clients about attachment and abandonment concerns when those come up. She also addresses communication problems, codependency, and symptoms linked to mood disorders, obsessions and compulsions. When appropriate she includes work around parenting stress and divorce or separation issues.
Her experience includes helping people with substance use and anger management. She is familiar with challenges often labeled as autism and Asperger syndrome and with disruptive mood dysregulation disorder as areas that influence behavior and family dynamics. Practical skill-building and clearer communication are common themes in her work.
Carla asks new clients to complete an intake that highlights what they want to change. She then collaborates on goals and simple strategies to practice between sessions. People who want to examine how their family of origin still shapes their daily life may find this focus is part of her work.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Carla works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building and clearer communication. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing different responses; this can help reduce anxious thoughts and lower stress in day-to-day situations. Another approach centers on improving interpersonal communication and boundaries, which can help people who struggle with codependency or ongoing family conflicts.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will review current concerns, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative step helps match techniques to what feels useful and realistic for the client. Because the original biography does not list session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapeutic work fits around parenting, work, or other commitments. It also lets people use a quieter setting or avoid being on camera when that better supports a focused conversation.
